ESPN Matchup Predictor: Syracuse has a 91.1% chance to win.
Syracuse enters the 2021 season following back to back losing campaigns. After a 10 win 2018 season, the Orange has gone 5-7 and 1-10 in the last two years. Getting back to a bowl game would be significant for the program's direction. A season opening win over Ohio was a step in the right direction. However, Syracuse missed a chance to start the year 2-0 with a loss to Rutgers in the home opener. Now Syracuse hosts FCS Albany in desperate need of a win.
Albany has started the 2021 campaign 0-2 after a 28-6 loss to North Dakota State and 16-14 in-conference defeat to Rhode Island. Albany may be an FCS program, but there have been FCS wins over FBS program this season already. Montana upset then #20 Washington in week one, while Jacksonville State knocked off Florida State in thrilling fashion.
